Cause we are in this TOGETHER …

Although many days are tough, many seem to be difficult and have no end in site, my prayer is for you to keep going, find hope, and stay obedient to what God has asked you to do.

Romans 4:18 AGAINST ALL HOPE, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

[Genesis 15:1-6] After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:
“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward.”

2 But Abram said, “O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”

4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir.”5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

Romans 4:19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, …

[James 1:2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom (wisdom = discernment in the trial), he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

… but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

[Philippians 1: 6] being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

[Ephesians 3: 20] Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Grace and Peace be with you today.
